Was also in cusack, crowd was small but the group I was with we're in great form lol!!!

Who would have thought after first 2 league games we would be div 2 champions

I know it has its own thread but do Kildare really want/need Johnston.
I've seen him a few times for Cavan and of course he stands out as thier best forward. But it is the best of a bad lot.

Yes the crowd was small but I was in the cusack with a group yesterday and we and the kildare fans around us were having a ball also.

[musicmania]

There was loads of Kildare fans on the Hogan Stand, way more than for any of the other 3 teams playing yesterday. There was a great atmosphere where we were.

Where's that Fogarty lad from? He didn't even look up for 2 of his scores.

[MickySticks]

Fogarty's from St Laurences.

My team v Offaly

Connolly
McGrillen
Foley
Kelly
Lyons
M O'Flaherty
Bolton
Flynn
O'Neill (presuming Earley and Lynch aren't available)
E O'Flaherty

With the likes of Kavanagh, Smith and Flanagan missing out. Strong bench though.

He's not fully fit, he still has a bit to go to build up the power in his knee and his over all fitness is a good bit behind the rest of the players I would imagine.

Nobody is talking bout being champions as he has stated the fans are excited the lads are performing well that is all

Won't count for much if they do don't produce the goods in Summer though, that's all I meant.

And I wasn't meaning to devalue the win over Tyrone, any day you come away with a convincing 5 point win over Tyrone you must be doing something right. I was escpecially impressed with the shooting accuracy, something that seems to have improved a lot under McGeeney (as I know it's been an issue for Kildare teams in the past, not turning possession into scores).

As a Galwayman it gives me hope that our lads should have beaten ye, as I know this is a pretty good Kildare team. Though our expectations for this Summer are lower obviously.

Kildare will play Clare in a challenge match on sunday at 7pm @ Kilcock GAA. New floodlights will be turned on. GAA president Liam O' Neill and Micheal O' Muircheartaigh will be special guests.
Interested to see who will line out.

The hurlers were unlucky to lose yesterday in The Christy Ring Cup first round. Kildare 2-18 Derry 1-22.

They play Kerry away in the next round.

Were you at the game Micky?

If so, Fogarty pick up where he left off? I hope he's the real deal...

No I couldn't make it but I heard he scored 4 points from play and played well although the game was a farce as Clare were awful.

Ronan Sweeney scored 1-6, so we have plenty of options.
